About Me

new to the world of homeownership, i shall endeavour to use this new blog as a place to whitter on about my new life as a gardener and home handy woman extraordinaire! wish me luck.
as i don't like the linky way blogger does "interests" and such, i'll write them in here instead.
gardening~ in particular implementing the principles of companion planting, organics and biodynamics, and permaculture. which all go together of course!
back-to-basics in the kitchen~ making preserves, baking, and trying my hand at cheesemaking.
internetting~ i can't call myself a true hippy with my attachment to modern forms of communication.
and on the subject of communication~ i love to write letters and postcards, and intend to do more of it. especially hand-drawn postcards. requests accepted.
books~ many many varied books. yes please. i like quirky films, leonard cohen makes my heart ache in a good way, and i like other music too.

the spring garden is coming to life!
radishes and rocket and carrots are poking their first leaves up, plenty of weeds too (pesky calendula mostly) but they're all too small to really say what's what.
five out of seven potatoes have appeared also, 3 lisetta 2 red rascals and still waiting on the 2 agria.
peas are due to sprout any day, they've taken ages, but steve had a dig around and reckons they're about to do their thing.. hooray!
garden beds are looking good, and by the end of the weekend my new oval brick-walled bed will be well on the way.
loving having steve here, my live-in gardener. a man of action!
